[quote user="Murphy Siding"]What does that have to do with the derailment in Doon Iowa?[/quote] Your laws require a number of precautions to prevent oil train desasters like speed limit, PTC, buffer cars. Perhaps in a case of high water special precautions for an oil train on this route might have been adviced. I don't know if this perhaps was done. As I said before I think the railroad must have known of the high water condition at the time of the accident, I don't say the high water was the cause for the derailment. It might have been. The water level Tree68 gave for up-river from Doon is defined as Major Flood Stage: <a href="http://ifis.iowafloodcenter.org/ifis/app/?c=Doon_(Rock_River)">http://ifis.iowafloodcenter.org/ifis/app/?c=Doon_(Rock_River)</a> Klick on the Attention mark for more information.
